Best Venue in New Orleans

We got married at Paradigm in April 2023, from the day we booked until our wedding, the staff was outstanding, responsive, and helpful beyond our wildest expectations. The tasting and menu creation felt very personal and considerate of our needs and dietary restrictions. The day of coordination was smooth and our guests consistently mentioned that the venue feels like a movie, because it was so beautiful. A perfect spring wedding spot easily held 75 guests with room to spare. Paradigm was there through every step of the planning process and helped us create the day that we really wanted. Can't recommend this space highly enough. If I could get married there again next weekend I would!

Garden Magic in Every Detail!

Look no further than Paradigm Gardens for the unforgettable, joyful, vibrant, delicious and thoughtful wedding or celebration that you've always imagined! We had always admired the space for its lush, colorful, genuine energy, but we had no idea how special and personal the experience would be when we reached out to inquire about having our wedding in the garden.

Starting at the beginning, Karen was so available and personable which made it possible for us to talk through our needs and hopes and find a solution that would work for our budget and vison. From that point, we felt extremely supported throughout the year leading up to our wedding with prompt answers whenever we had questions, phone calls to discuss any idea we had to see how we could make it work in the garden, and a menu tasting that was so much fun and SO delicious! One major point to any prospective couple, the food is SPECTACULAR! Made on the outdoor grill and brick oven, the culinary experience is a feast for every sense and seriously something our guests (and we) are still talking about!

With rain in the forecast as our wedding approached, Karen and Sarah made sure every detail was thought of to ease our nerves, and we had a perfect rain plan that was stunning and perfect! The Paradigm team thinks of every detail so that you can create the day of your dreams. The garden flowers and foliage were just divine, the layout was thought out perfectly for our group size, the food was prepared and served without us having to think about a thing and we could just soak in our amazing family and friends, and the love and joy around us! The staff were such a delight and so kind and helpful throughout the evening! We had an absolute BLAST and will remember every second of the perfect day to start our next chapter together. Paradigm is the best decision we made aside from marrying each other!

Magical Wedding

Paradigm is an amazing place! It felt very intimate when we were exchanging dvows. When it come to day of, they make everything so easy and stress free. The food was incredible. Our friends and family were raving about it! Karen is seriously the best. She answered all of our questions, constantly emailed us updates, and even walked us through the set up and breakdown. The staff were incredible. They made sure the groom and I ate. The bartenders were fantastic. We don’t drink so they were ready to make us mock-tails.
